TAKE AN EXTRA COPY OF THE BULLETIN FOR NEIGHBORS, FAMILY, AND
FRIENDS!
OUR CHURCH IS OPEN DAILY FROM 6AM TO 6PM.
Confessions will be heard on Saturday from 11am-12pm in the
sacristy. Enter through the left side of the sacristy through the
door near the Blessed Mother Statue. For privacy wait inside the
church in line for others to exit before you proceed to the
sacristy.
REMEMBER TO PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING AT MASS.
LEAVE AT LEAST ONE PEW BETWEEN YOU AND THE PERSON NEAREST TO
YOU.
October 7th is the day we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of the
Rosary. It also is the
Patronal Feast of our parish. We love our
Blessed Mother and seek her assistance in the
events of our lives. We want to mark our
Lady’s Feast by making a promise to pray
special prayers together at home as a family
each day beginning on September 29th and
concluding on Mary’s Feast Day; October 7th.
We will make available a printed copy of a
special Novena to Our Lady of Victories for
you to take home. It will also be available on
the website and on our Facebook page. This is
something families can do at home perhaps in
the evening after supper to honor our Blessed
Mother and consecrate ourselves to her
maternal care.

Twenty-Sixth Sunday in the Ordinary Time
Jesus seems to be offering two lessons in today’s account from
Matthew’s Gospel. The first reveals God’s willingness to forgive
the sinner who repents. Once a person turns away from sin and
returns to the Lord, forgiveness comes immediately. The second
lesson is for those who are self-righteous and critical of others.
The Pharisees criticized Jesus for associating with tax collectors
and prostitutes. To their surprise Jesus informs them that tax
collectors and prostitutes will be saved before them.
Judgment is for God alone. His posture is always one of mercy.
He is ready to embrace with His forgiveness the worst sinner who
comes back to Him. Like the story of the Prodigal Son, The Father
runs to meet the son who realizes his sin and returns home.
As followers of Jesus, we have much cause for hope. When we sin,
we need not despair but rather humble ourselves and come to the
Lord. The system He established for us to relieve ourselves of the
burden of guilt is the Sacrament of Penance. By making a good
confession, we return to the Lord’s fold to find peace and joy.
This lesson of unconditional forgiveness is meant to teach us how
to deal with one another. Forgiving like God forgives brings joy
not only to the other, but to us as well.
Peace,
Fr. Robert

We should spend as much time in
thanking God for his benefits as we do in asking him for them –
St. Vincent de
Paul Our society is named for the patron of all works of charity
- Saint Vincent de Paul. His feast day is this Sunday, September
27th. St. Vincent founded three organiza�ons dedicated to helping
the poor in the 1600’s. He dedicated his life to serve the poor in
Paris, France. He died days a�er his 60th anniversary as a priest.
He is known as “Father of the Poor”. Our first general mee�ng of
our new year is this Monday, September 28th at 7:30 in MDH. This is
our first mee�ng since Covid19. We will be wearing masks and si�ng
apart to be safe. New members are welcome. Our food pantry is well
supplied because of your generosity. Please leave non-perishable
food dona�ons in baskets at the church entrances. Thank you for
your con�nued generosity. Our coat and blanket drive is the weekend
of October 10th and 11th. We greatly appreciate any dona�ons of
coats, jackets, blankets, and hats. All donated items must be new
or gently used. Please, clean items only. No work of charity is
foreign to our society. In the name of Christ we are here to help
and to serve. Please put us to work. If you or someone you know is
truly in need, please contact us through the parish office. (732)
257-0077.
Sayreville LIFE CHAIN 2020
WHEN: Sunday, October 4th 2:00 – 3:30pm
WHERE: Washington Road, Sayreville
(see below for details)
Dear OLV Families! In an effort to make a greater statement on
the value of every human life from conception to natural death, we
are inviting you to join with us in the National Life Chain, to be
held on Respect Life Sunday, October 4th, 2020. Here in the
Sayreville location, the event will take place from 2:00 pm to 3:30
pm, on Washington Road from Sayreville High School, up past the
Library and Middle School, over the hill and past the Knights of
Columbus, hopefully as far as the number of participants will
reach. Life Chain is a peaceful, prayerful, silent demonstration,
in which people of all faiths stand and hold signs such as “Life is
Precious.” We DO NOT INTERACT with any possible negativity from
passers-by. Signs will be available at the high school and K of C
at no charge—we just ask that you kindly return them for use again
next year. Life Chain is held rain or shine, so please dress
accordingly, and you may certainly bring a chair if you cannot
stand for that length of time.
“Be a voice for the voiceless!” Our Lady of Victories Respect
Life Group & Knights of Columbus Council 2061
